Fighting for a bright renewable energy future in Pennsylvania

As many states continue to shift away from fossil fuels towards clean renewables like solar, Pennsylvania is falling behind. Just this year, the Keystone Stated earned a C and ranked 20th in the 2018 State Solar Power Rankings. We deserve better. We know that a solar future means good jobs and economic growth for our communities. We know that locally produced solar energy means cleaner air for communities that desperately need improved air quality. And we know these are just some of the benefits that come from investing in our future with distributed solar generation.

That’s why we’re fighting for solar rights, more clean energy, and expanding solar access in the Keystone State. Here’s how you can join us.

100% renewable energy

A bipartisan group of state legislators have introduced an ambitious bill to power the commonwealth with 100% renewable energy by 2050. The twin bills in the State House and Senate (SB 1140 and HB 2132) call for all of Pennsylvania’s energy—for buildings, transportation, agriculture, and industry—to come from renewable sources.

Demand 100% renewable energy for Pennsylvania

A bipartisan group of state legislators have introduced an ambitious bill to power the commonwealth with 100% renewable energy by 2050. Tell your representatives in Harrisburg to stand up for our economy, our environment, and our future by supporting these bills today!

Solar Access Bill

But a solar future also requires homeowners to have the right to generate solar on their own properties. That’s why we’re also fighting for SB 1039, which would require Pennsylvania to join 25 other states in protecting solar access rights.

Support greater access to solar in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is one of the few states without a law to protect our rights to solar. That’s why it’s important to urge your legislators to support SB 1039, a bill to defend the right of Pennsylvania homeowners to generate their own solar power.
